Title: Improvements in Centrifugal Machines.
Inventor: ROBERTSON ANDREW ROBERT
Filed: 1908-11-25
Granted: 1909-08-05
Abstract: 25,355. Robertson, A. R. Nov. 25. Impact-wheels. - The supply of water to the accelerating-nozzles of a Pelton wheel for driving centrifugal machines is regulated according to the direction in which the water leaves the buckets of the wheel, as in Specification No. 22,519, A.D. 1900. The accelerating-nozzles B<2> are supplied with water from a pipe C<2> provided with a valve C, which can be closed by admitting the water under pressure to a chamber B<2> through a pipe El. The pipe E<1> communicates with the pipe C<2> through a chamber G fitted with a piston valve G', the stem of which engages with a piece H on a pivoted vane H<1> so that the valve is kept closed. The piece H is so shaped that as long as the water comes backwards from the wheel it will not move the vane H<1>, but wheu the wheel has attained its full speed any increase in speed allows the water to leave the wheel in the direction of rotation thereof and to move the vane H<1>, so that the valve G<1> is opened by the pressure of the water and the valve C is closed. When the water supply is cut off, the valve G<1> is closed by a spring and the vane H' falls into place. A rotary plug valve may be substituted for the piston valve G', and may be so arranged that a diminution of the speed causes the supply to the accelerating-nozzles to be turned on again.

Granted: 1910-04-14
Abstract: 11,972. Atkinson, H. G., and Willson, H C. May 21.. Indicating interruption of flow of liquids.- An apparatus secured to a suitable upper part of a motor-vehicle is actuated through a Bowden - wire or similar connexion by the pressure of the oil at a point below the crankshaft or the floor of the vehicle; leakages at an elevated point of the vehicle which may occur when the oil is conveyed directly to the indicator are thus avoided. The oil is pumped through the tube 4, Fig. 1, and its pressure actuates the spring-controlled piston 6, which raises the indicating-disk 12, Fig. 2, through the Bowden wire 9, 10. The wire 9, 10 may be replaced by a pneumatic connexion, or the piston may be arranged to exert a pull upon the wire when oil is being pumped. The disk 12 may be replaced by an index hand.
Patent GB-190912208-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Loom Shuttles.
Inventor: JUSTICE PHILIP MIDDLETON
IPC: D03J5/24
Filed: 1909-05-24
Granted: 1910-02-10
Abstract: 12,208. Justice, P. M., [Draper, W. F.]. May 24. Shuttles ; shuttles, changing bobbins in, automatically. - A self-threading shuttle for use in a loom having automatic bobbinchanging mechanism is provided with means for preventing unthreading or breakage of the weft, due to the formation of loops, and for ensuring correct delivery and tension of the weft during the first pick after the automatic change of bobbin. As the fresh bobbin is pushed into the shuttle, the weft enters the passage between the undercut projection 6, Figs. 1 and 4, and the wall 4 of the threading-block 21, and slips under a hook 35, formed on the threading- block. Just as the shuttle is picked, the alteration of the inclination of the thread caused by the backward movement of the lay causes the thread to slip under a beak 5 which is inclined downwards and towards the side of the shuttle containing the eye 13. A pad T of felt or fabric, lying in the groove 9, gives the weft the necessary tension during the first pick after the change of bobbin. When the shuttle starts to make the return pick, the weft slips down the inclined parts 34, 26, Figs. 1, 4, and 6, of the threading-block, which parts guide the weft to the eye 13 and cause it to slip under the hook 30 on the threading-block and to engage the tension device 38. The threading-block is secured by pins 24, 25 let into the body of the shuttle, and by a screwed pin 37 carrying the eccentrically-arranged tension device 38. When the pin 37 is turned, the part 38 is raised or lowered, thus altering the angle between two portions of the weft and changing the tension. The part 26, Fig. 6, is made separate from the body of the threading-block and is secured by springing its ends into the sockets 27, 28. In the modification shown in Figs. 12, 13, and 15, the shuttle has a friction pad 21<1> adapted to act on the weft when it is fully threaded. The guiding-piece 27<1>, which lies below the threading-block 23<1> when the parts are arranged in the shuttle, has a curved part 36<1> which directs the thread into the eye 35<1>. The threading- block is secured in place by a bolt passing through a hole 16<1>. In both forms of construction, the threading-block projects slightly above the upper surface of the body of the shuttle.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Heeling Machines.
Inventor: JUSTICE PHILIP MIDDLETON
IPC: A43D79/00
Filed: 1909-06-22
Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 14,609. Justice, P. M., [Plant, T. G.]. June 22. Heels, machines for.-In a heeling-machine in which a holder carries top-lifts from a top-lift receiving position into a position for attachment to the heel, means is provided for locking the work in the holder during the movement of the holder. The top-lift holder is adjustably connected to a block 5 by a movable wedge 15 secured by a screw 16. The block 5 is carried by an arm 4 on a shaft 3, which is given a swinging motion to transfer the holder to a position under a cross-head 1, by a reciprocating rod 7, which is yieldingly connected with an arm 6 extending from the shaft. The breast of the lift is held between jaws 36 mounted on slides 27, 28, which are simultaneously movable. A screw 32 passes through a fixed gland on the slide support and is secured to the slide 28. A spring 33 is fitted between the head of the screw and the gland, thus forcing the jaws inwards to grip a lift placed between them. The support for the slides 27, 28 is carried on another slide 22 connected to a screw 19, round which is a spring 24 tending to draw the jaws up towards a backstop 37 for the lift. The back-stop can swing round a pivot to centre any misplaced lift. To lock the lift in the holder during the carrying movement, a bell-crank lever 50, which is pulled over by a spring 51, thrusts a wedge 48 below a stop 25 on the screw 19. When the lever reaches the lift-receiving position, a projection 53 on the cross-head 1 strikes an arm 52 on the lever 50, and holds back the wedge, thus permitting the jaws to be pressed back for the insertion of a lift. The invention may be used for heels, instead of for top-lifts.
